Actual (reported)To prospectively evaluate whether use of combined radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and percutaneous iodine-125 (125I) seeds implantation results in better survival compared with use of RFA alone in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Actual (reported)recurrence rate
The primary endpoint was the time to recurrence(TTR) was measured from the date of treatment to the time when the recurrent tumor was first diagnosed. At spiral CT after treatment, residual viable tumor tissue was considered to be present if enhancing areas were seen within the tumor on either arterial phase or portal venous phase images. Depending on the initial random treatment assignment, RFA-125I or RFA alone was repeated. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed if there was uncertainty at CT as to whether residual viable tumor tissue was present.

The combination RFA and 125I (RFA-125I) (n = 68; 42 men, 26 women; mean age, 50.7 years; age range, 29-73 years) In this group, patients were accepted not only radiofrequency ablation (RFA) but also iodine-125.
(n = 68; 47 men, 21 women; mean age, 48.9 years; age range, 30-74 years) In tis group,the patient were just peformed radiofrequency ablation alnoe.
For RFA, we used a commercially available system (RF 2000; Radio Therapeutics, Mountain View, Calif) and a needle electrode with a 15-gauge insulated cannula that had 10 hook-shaped expandable electrode tines with a diameter of 3.5 cm at expansion (LeVeen; Radio Therapeutics).The radioactivity per seed ranged from 0.5 to 0.6 millicuries (mCi)

The Illness of Uncertainty, Personality and Coping Strategies in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The 125I seeds (0.8 mm in diameter and 4.5mm in length) were enclosed in a NiTinol capsule (China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing). These seeds could produce 27.4-31.5 keV X-ray and 35.5 Kev γ ray, with a half-life of 59.6 days. The radioactivity per seed ranged from 0.5 to 0.6 millicuries (mCi).
